About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To dance the dance of wildflowers in the wind.

ABOUT ME

I can tell you how I'm really respectful, considerate, friendly, kind...etc, etc, etc. But really, most people on CS are all those things, so let's get to the fun stuff!-I am a coffee addict. This may or may not be a problem depending where on the coffee spectrum you are.-I am an outdoor adrenaline junkie. Don't be surprised if I kidnap you and take you to do awesome things in awesome places!- I have a yellow Ford Escape named Sunny. He loves adventures, especially those involving climbing, camping, backpacking, books and wine on the beach, local breweries, bonfires, photography dates, or a combination of them all.-Live music fills my heart to capacity and if I go longer than a week without the sweet sound of strings, bad things can happen.-I love to write and am building up my confidence to do something about it.-SmartWool socks, frozen blueberries, and Mumford and Sons are my three best friends on the road...but that has a tendency to change on a bi-weekly basis.- I love sharing stories, but I love hearing stories even more. I love connecting with people and learning from them but most importantly, I really love having an outrageously fun time...whatever that may entail.

PHILOSOPHY

If you're gonna dance, don't be shy. If you're gonna smile, smile wide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I'm traveling and am looking for hosts! When I settle into some gem of a town, I can't wait to host fellow travelers and show them a good time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met my best friend Sam through CS. My life hasn't been the same since. Blessing or curse? I'm still deciding. She's the one who encouraged me to hit the road, I listened, my world turned upside down and started violently shaking...it has yet to stop.

Interests

climbing (not very good at it, but it makes my heart tingle...), hand-knit booties, photography, backpacking, collecting feathers, hiking, camping, writing, yoga, reading, blogging, thrift stores, live music, beer (especially local beer!), breweries, mountains, Big Sur, wildflowers, SmartWool socks, frozen blueberries, evergreen forests, traveling, awkward situations, laughing 7 minutes past the point of throbbing abs, cats in sweaters, the fantasy of trail running and being good at it, reading under cozy blankets, walks through graveyards, being barefoot, walks through the rain, really awful 80's videos, 60's culture, adventures, adrenaline, and being outrageously crazy telling stories that make absolutely no sense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The fact that I'm living in my car wandering around the globe exploring continues to scare all societal expectations and logic out of me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and I make killer stuffed shells!
